FINGER-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 467,928,`dated February 2, 1892.

Application filed November 20, 1891. Serial No. 412,585. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t 71mg concern.-

Beit known that I, JOSEPH II. FINK, of New York city, New York, have invented an Improved Finger-Ring, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to the class of tin gerrings known as initial-rings, and more particularly to the manner of fastening the initial to the box.

It consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal section of my improved fingerring; Fig. 2, a cross-section thereof, and Fig. 3 a top viewthereof with the initial and stone removed.

The letter a represents the box of a lingerring that contains the onyx or stone ZJ and snperposed initial c. The bottom a of box a is provided with a pair of sockets, convex shells, or under-cut mortises a2 and With a pair of shoulders a3, Fig. 3, upon which the onyx Z) is supported. From the lower side of the initial c there depend two pair of springjaws c directly above the mortises a2. Each pair of jaws c terminates in the outwardlybulged spring-heads o2, adapted to be received by the mortise. The onyx Z) is perforated in line with the spring-jaws, and the bottom a of box a is also perforated underneath the sockets CL2, as at at.

To pnt the ringtogether, the onyx is placed into the box a upon the shoulders a3, and

then the initial is superposed and is fastened by means of the spring-jaws o', the heads c2 of which will engage the mortises a2. Thus it will be seen that the initial and stone can be readily secured in place by simple pressure upon the initial. To remove the initial,

it may be either raised off the onyx byasuit-4 able blade, or the prongs of a fork may be introduced through the openings ai to engage the spring-jaws. The latter method has the advantage that by it the onyx cannot become accidentally injured'on its polished surface.

l. The combination of box a with convex shells secured to the bottom, and with a perforated onyx and an initial having springjaws that engage said shells, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of box a with convex shells a2 and shoulders as, secured to the bottom, and with a perforated onyx and an initial having spring-jaws that engage the shells, substantially as specified.

The combination ofbox a, having perforated bottom a and eonvexshells secured to the same, with a perforated onyx and an initial having spring-jaws that engage the shells, substantially as specified.
